Holy cow.... 13 gallons in a "M"..... What does the SUPER M hold?
I recently got this Super M and noticed the rear end grease contains water (looks foamy). I plan to replace it. I noticed that because there was a leak where the pulley housing bolts on, and that is where the oil was leaking and looked foamy. I tightened the loose bolts and the leak stopped. Now I wonder how the water got in there???? It may have come in under that loose part. But I wonder if it leaks in at the shifter. I had the shifter out because it needed to have some welding added, or it would not shift properly. That's fixed. But there really is no actual seal to keep water from getting in.
A farmer told me to use a piece of inner tube and hose clamp above the boot. That makes sense, but where else might water get in? There are no other loose bolts or the filler plug. At the cost of the fluid, I dont want to contaminate it again. Plus water in there will freeze in winter and I can imagine what a mess that would cause. (My former Farmall H has an identical shifter and it never got water in it).
When I change the fluid (oil) should I flush out the housing? How?
Finally, the filler cap has a square hole. I think it's a 3/4 inch. Do I just use a 3/4" ratchet or breaker bar? Since I dont have 3/4" tools, will a 1/2" bar work with an adapter or are they very tight?

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
